POVIDONE-IODINE (BETADINE®) 7.5% Skin Cleanser is a hospital-grade antiseptic wash, not just a soap. Regular soap only lifts dirt and germs off your skin and rinses them away, it doesn't actually kill them. BETADINE® Skin Cleanser goes further: its povidone-iodine kills 99.99% of germs (bacteria and fungi) in as fast as 30 seconds, based on lab tests, so you're disinfecting, not just cleaning.

It's made for bacterial and fungal skin issues: minor cuts and wounds, plus fungal conditions like buni (ringworm), alipunga (athlete's foot), hadhad (jock itch), and an-an (tinea versicolor). It's also commonly used for acne, bacne, and body odor since all of these are linked to bacteria on the skin.

Wet the area, apply the cleanser directly, and let it lather for about 1 minute before rinsing thoroughly and drying. It's meant for spot or targeted use, usually 1 to 2 times a day, not an all-over, all-day wash. It is intended for occasion usage when antiseptic cleansing is needed and not for continuous daily use throughout the year.

Nope, it's not meant to replace your everyday soap or be used non-stop all year. Since it's a hospital-grade antiseptic if symptoms persist or when going beyond 14 days straight consult your doctor first for proper assesstment and advice, so it doesn't get misused or cause side effects. Save it for when you need that extra germ-fighting boost.

Yes, it's specifically meant to help stop the spread of infection in acne, pimples, and bacne by killing the bacteria that fuel breakouts. That said, it's a targeted treatment, not a daily facial wash, so apply it directly on the affected area instead of using it to wash your whole face every day. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Yes! Body odor happens when bacteria break down your sweat, and BETADINE® Skin Cleanser kills up to 99.99% of those odor-causing germs (based on lab tests). Use it to wash your armpits and feet to remove offensive odor. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

It can be used by adults and children 2 years old and above. If it's for a specific skin condition on your child, though, it's best to check with their pediatrician first.

Talk to your doctor or healthcare provider before using BETADINE® Skin Cleanser if you're pregnant or breastfeeding.
